Randall Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Lost for the season? Vikings' No. 1 pick feared lost for the season Rookie linebacker Chad Greenway injured his left knee covering an Oakland kickoff return late in the first quarter. Judd Zulgad, Star Tribune Last update: August 15, 2006 – 12:47 AM The Vikings might have suffered a loss far greater than their 16-13 preseason setback against Oakland on Monday night at the Metrodome. Rookie linebacker Chad Greenway, the Vikings' first-round pick in the NFL draft, left the game in the first quarter because of an injury to his left knee. Greenway will have an MRI this morning, and indications Monday night were that it could be a season-ending tear to his anterior cruciate ligament. Coach Brad Childress said the Vikings will "reserve judgment" until the results of the MRI come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTen Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I know that I am being Monday Morning QB here, but why do you have your #1 pick on kick return coverage? Was he not going to start at LB for the Vikes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 that sucks. First round pick as wedge buster is kinda stupid though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he not going to start at LB for the Vikes? He was on the 2nd string defense last I heard. Looks like he might be done for the year now.

Yeah, he might not have started this season, but he certainly would have been thrown in the mix in certain situations. Man it is tough to lose that first draft pick.

Randall Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 He was on the 2nd string defense last I heard. Looks like he might be done for the year now. That's too bad. Too many injuries already and with 3 PS games to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Scorp Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Play did not look that bad when it happened. Freak accident! That would be two huge losses on the "D" Tank Williams and Greenway!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
